This Report was developed under the auspices of Program Area Committee 2 of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the committee that is concerned with operational radiation safety.
This book was written with the intention to pursue Dr. Stephen Goldberg's vision to make learning ridiculously simple. It is designed to rapidly teach the clinically vital components of radiology. The reader will acquire a solid approach to radiographic examinations commonly interpreted without radiologist assistance, and will become comfortable at recognizi ng common and dangerous conditions.
This book arose because of the huge amounts of clinical material that pass through the Singapore General Hospital, the largest tertiary care hospital in Singapore. A significant proportion of our patients come to us for a second opinion from the neighboring countries.
